I have been running 3 250XM single ended bulbs powered by 3 PFO 250W magnetic ballasts. It is now time to replace the bulbs and I was thinking about a change. I was considering going with the PFO HQI ballast and sticking with the mogul bases. In looking at Sanjay' Reef Lighting Info Pages, this would be a huge jump in PAR. I am keeping a mostly sps tank with several lps and a few softies. I would like to get better coloraration from my sps without sacrificing other types of corals. Anyone have any experience with this setup?
 
I've run 10,000K XM SE bulbs on IceCap 250w e-ballasts. Worked perfectly fine.
